At least they are honest about it . Unlike ObamaCare where not one ( D ) read it before voting for it .
You'll recall that famous quote from Granma P " we have to pass it , to find out what's in it ".

Translation, they're doing the exact same thing, but it's your party so it's okay.

To be fair, the Republicans aren't doing the same thing, they're actually doing what they falsely accused the Democrats of doing.

The ACA had eighteen months of negotiation, and at the time, Paul Ryan said it hadn't faced enough scrutiny.

So he turns around and does...this monstrosity?

It's all speculation at this point anyway, no need for anyone to bunch their panties up.

Freudian slip?

Yep. No way the Senate passes this, and no way the House passes a Senate bill. Government dysfunction at it's finest. Republicans forgot how to govern.

No, iPhone mistake.

It actually works either way.

For a man with the head of a turtle, Mitch is actually a very competent legislator. I'm afraid he'll pass something through the senate and the house will have to sign off regardless of what it is, if nothing else but for the "win."

Only if they change the rules in the Senate.

The house bill was written with budget reconciliation in mind. They only need 51 votes for that. It limits the harm they can do but doesn't eliminate it.

Next steps for GOP health plan: Senate plans to write its own bill

You've gotta give this guy a little credit, at least he admits that he's a completely incompetent maroon.

GOP Congressman Admits He Didn't Even Read The Monstrous Health Care Bill He Just Voted For

“I will fully admit, Wolf, I did not [read the bill],” an amazingly straight-faced Collins blurted, when pressed by Blitzer on whether he’d done the most basic due diligence his job requires. Instead, Collins explained, “I can assure you, my staff did.”

It seems, however, that Collins’ staff probably could have done a better job telling their boss what he was actually voting for. In an interview with his district’s Buffalo News paper, a reporter pointed out to Collins that under the legislation he’d approved, New York stood to lose $3 billion in federal funding providing aid to hundreds of thousands of people.


“Explain that to me,” Collins insisted. And, once the reporter pointed out that New York was one of two states participating in Obamacare’s optional Essential Health Plan—a low cost insurance option for some who are unable to qualify for Medicaid—Collins answered that he didn’t even know the program’s funding was at risk.

My congressman is Chris Collins who is modestly proud of the fact he didn't read the bill. I called his office and suggested the staffer who did read it should replace Chris as he/she would be the one who knew what was going down. I suggested that maybe the next edition of drumpfCare will come with pictures...Like their President, most Republicans are far too busy being stupid to read anything unless it's a book by Rush Limbaugh or Bill O'Reilly. They just don't seem to be interested in facts and detail. Maybe that's why they don't like science or people.

 

[ImWaitingForTheDay]

I'm sure when ryan saw the shirt he read it as:
"repeal and golf" then american flag.

Nope, i take that back, he read it as "alpha male" bravado, the benchmark of drumpf and the gopigs party.

Thanks for that Baba!

It's amusing watching the leftie members in BC go all goofy and crazy like the Righties did after Obamacare.

Thanks for the amusement.

I don't think Olebummer or any of the Democrats ever read the ACA.
It's rare any Congressman/Senator ever reads any bill.
Probably wouldn't understand it if they did.

Except that it took 14 months and debate in the house and senate before it was enacted. Not so much with this bullcrap bill not even waiting on a score from the CBO ..Talk about shoving something down America's throat..But they voted to keep Obamacare for themselves......This is all about a tax cut.

So, you agree with me?

 

[BrownArmy]

So, you agree with me?

No.

This new bill is just a transfer of money from the poor to the rich.

Sorry, say whatever you want.

It won't make it past the Senate, nevertheless, the bill from the House is literally designed to take monies from the poor (cuts to Medicaid, etc.), and cut taxes for the rich.

There is no other way to explain it.

Monies that went to the poor will get cut, which will be paid for by tax cuts for the rich.

That's the deal.

 

[BrownArmy]

This started out with you stating that you don't think any of the Repugs read the bill.

To which you replied and it all got a little fuzzy.
